I've had it-the agencies, the winking, the networks, the ratings. Anyone who thinks TV is an art medium is crazy-it's an advertising medium.

Filmmaking is a chance to live many lifetimes.

I never knew what I wanted, except that it was something I hadn't seen before.

[The Player is] not a truthful indictment of Hollywood. It's much uglier than I portrayed it, but nobody would've been interested if I'd shown just how sadistic, cruel and self-orientated it is.

Your own ego is the only trap that I think you can fall into.

She used to be all right, Una, when we were kids. I liked that she wasn't fussed about her antlers.

The only reason we die, is because we accept death as an inevitability.

How is a woman to tell the story of her life and not stumble upon men?

You take your problems to a god, but what you really need is for the god to take you to the inside of you.
